Among those Weiner follows is Alec Baldwin, who wrote: "Weiner's actions: unconscionable. But reaction is unsettling. Too much of Blog-America are hate filled McCarthyites."

Some expressed sympathy toward Weiner after he was mocked during his press conference by Howard Stern show writer Benjy Bronk, who yelled "pervert" and asked inappropriate questions including, "Were you fully erect?"

Added Politico's Ben Smith: "Radio shouter successfully upstaged Weiner, which probably built more sympathy for him in room than anything he could have said."

Political commentator/critic Alex Morin also showed his support, writing: "@RepWeiner Continue the fight for the poor and disadvantaged in whatever venue you end up in." He also pointed a finger at America: Another good politician killed by the media and America's inability to be mature about sexuality #truth."

Robert Freedland took the opportunity to make a not-so-veiled attack on President George W. Bush: "In America you can lie and start a war that costs billions and thousands if lives, but if you Tweet yourself in underwear you are done."

Meanwhile, there were some people applauding Weiner's decision to resign, including animation producer-writer Elliot Blake (Space Ghost Coast to Coast).

"Dems did the right thing in telling Weiner it was time to go," he tweeted.

For his part, Weiner hasn't tweeted since June 1, before the scandal broke.
